Spicy Shrimp Pasta in Tomato Cream Sauce. Seared shrimp and rigatoni tossed with a super-quick spicy tomato cream sauce. Jazzed up with garlic, shallot, sun-dried tomatoes and white wine. Served with oregano bread crumbs and feta. Seriously, what’s not to like? It’s finger-licking good.
Shrimp pasta feels like such a treat. White wine and cream add sophistication and richness to the spicy tomato sauce. The crispy oregano bread crumbs and salty feta are a must. They’re the finishing touch, the icing on the cake. With just a few ingredients combined together, this is a weeknight dinner at its best, for sure. The sauce gets a nice spicy kick from the red pepper chili flakes, but you can make it extra spicy if you can handle the heat!
This is a tomato-based sauce with shrimp that’s great served over pasta, although the shrimp can be served up in a skillet and eaten with chunks of crusty bread.
Not a fan of feta? Use parmesan or burrata.
It’s a ridiculously easy recipe which makes it a perfect choice for a weeknight dinner. The recipe pretty much involves only a few steps. First, we make the bread crumbs, then we sear the shrimps. Next, we make the tomato sauce by sautéing the garlic, adding cream, red pepper flakes and sun-dried tomatoes.
In the meantime, cook the pasta. Drain. Finally, combine everything together. Done!

What size can of crushed tomatoes…and what light cream– half n half or heavy cream? Excited to try this!
Thanks! It’s a 14 ounce can of crushed tomatoes, and I used light cream which contains 20% fat but you can use half-and-half. Happy cooking!
Your recipes look delicious.
Many thanks!
Fish Sauce?
yes, to lift the flavors

Was that 1 lb of dry pasta or 1 lb cooked pasta? I used dry pasta and the sauce was too little. I barely got it to coat the pasta, nothing like the picture you have?
So sorry it turned out differently for you. The recipe calls for dry pasta, it’s possible that the sauce was too thick. I will add a note underneath the instructions.Thanks so much for your feedback and for trying the recipe.
Love all your recipes! Is there anything I can sub the wine for? Thanks!
Hi! You can use vegetable or chicken stock. Happy cooking!
